Paesaggi/Passaggi

LANDSCAPES are the forest, the lake, the sky, the panorama that opens from a window, from a terrace: landscapes of fields, waters, cities, seen from an eye that contemplates them as if they were distant in time, separated from years of an existence. The descriptions of the poems collected in the first part of the volume are those of a flaneur who prefers to move away from his neighbor, question him with some rhetorical questions that never await any answer. The PASSAGES of the second part, the grotesque and asemantic experiments, follow the same path that leads to solitude, with a playful tone but equally and ironically detached: seeing and describing, even in the ekphrasis exercises, in this case means entering into contradiction with the communicative language.
